I'm finding the Deezer "Plug in" to my Sonos ap difficult to use. I don't appear to be able to find new things and play them from there. I also can't find them in the normal Deezer app and "send" them to sonos. I have to find them in Deezer, set them as favourite, then go in to Sonos to play them. This is unwieldly. It also appears that you can not mark a "Mix" as a favourite meaning I can't play a mix through my Sonos. Any help available??

What is happening with this? Please can we get an update and a timeline of integration. I am in the process of moving from Spotify to Deezer, but of Deezer is going to make my life harder then that will not be happening!

Please can we get an update on this.

I wanted to comment regarding Deezer’s integration with Sonos and the fact that the Sonos brand has really moved on and offers some fantastic, innovative, integrations which services like Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal have embraced but I sadly feel that Deezer hasn't.

I think Deezer really has an edge over the other services mentioned as not only do you offer lossless streaming (like Tidal) but your music selection, curated playlists and features set you apart from the rest. Having said that, Tidal and Spotify (amongst others) offer control of Sonos from within their native apps, something I would certainly welcome as I know others would.

From the first screen you see when interacting with Deezer on Sonos all the way through to the Now Playing screen, Deezer feels like it’s been left behind. Apple Music and Spotify offer a ‘home page’ with branded imagery, like a splash screen and bespoke buttons, Deezer offers a list! Apple Music offer the artwork and descriptions that go with playlists in the playlist page, Deezer doesn’t even offer the playlist artwork. Right down to the Now Playing screen… Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn etc… all have the logo at the top of the screen when a song/station from their service is playing, Deezer has nothing. When Apple Music is playing a playlist it says ‘XXXXX on Apple Music’, when Apple Music or Spotify is playing a radio stream it says the same.

I have included images of everything I have mentioned here and would happily test or offer further examples if required but as a real fan and paying subscriber of Deezer I would love to see these additions so you don’t get left behind by the competition.

Why aren't we getting more information about these features which were generously recommended in this very well put together post by jack_carter94?

Hi @Jaime.Deezer

Does this mean we’re any closer to something actually happening on this? Sonos have made an absolute mess of their own app and many of us Sonos owners have lost confidence in them. A way to play directly from the Deezer app would be brilliant. At the moment, I’m using an open source project called Music Assistant which allows me to connect my Deezer account and stream to my Sonos speakers. However, it only has a web interface and needs some technical knowledge to install and host so it’s not for everyone.

Could you let us know if Sonos integration is on the roadmap for Deezer? Thanks.

Hi @lemo, thank you for your message.

Currently, we don’t have any information regarding Sonos integration on our roadmap.

We appreciate your interest and feedback, and I’ll make sure to pass your comments along to the team.

Stay tuned for any updates!

Because Sonos mangled their app? Seems a bit misplaced.

I think 6 years of waiting for a solution shows how committed Deezer and Sonos are to getting their act together. I'll try another service. I've finally given up and signed up for YouTube premium to get rid of the adverts and YouTube music comes included. I'm going to miss lossless over the WiiM streamer.

And there's your choice. Lossless music with some inconvenience, or lesser quality with more convenience (who knows though, it's Sonos we're talking about here).

I prefer the lossless music personally. It's Sonos I'm most angry about and I'm stuck with that system.

I have noticed several annoying issues with my full Sonos system lately and their support is remedial at best...unplug this, unplug that, reset your routers etc... basically no support at all. The system worked perfectly for years and now it's keeps disconnecting the sub or a speaker randomly and the TV needs to be constantly turned back and forth from the Sonos HDMI to the TV speakers in order to get the Sonos speakers to connect again. All the same hardware for 3 years, so software and firmware updates have boinked things up.

Still, an absolutely stunning sounding system and great all rounder when the sound stage is properly tweaked and it's all working. I sometimes wish it had a few more watts when playing music, but my ears are used to bigger systems!
